The Riverbanks Zoo has a koala cam. I just watched the leaves rustle and two tufty gray ears peek around the foliage. Completely fascinating in an unfulfilling sort of way. Anyone up for a trip to Columbia? Meg, Karl you know you want to...
And while we're on the topic of Australian marsupials, why is it that Australia got all the neat ones? I mean they have koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, potaroos, cuscuses, tasmanian devils, kalutas, dibblers, dunnarts, numbats, bilbies AND bandicoots. And what do we get? We get the stinking, hissing, frightening possum. I'd like to vituperate a possum.

On a sidenote, as a child did you ever repeat a word until it no longer sounded like a word? You should try it with "possum."

possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum. possum...
